I'm a newborn and family photographer based in Hillsboro, Oregon. I’m a former elementary teacher with a degree in early childhood development, which taught me how little ones move, learn, and interact — knowledge I bring to every session.
As a toddler mom myself, I understand how quickly these early stages pass. My photography focuses on calm, relaxed, baby-led sessions where families can simply be themselves. I aim to capture the quiet snuggles, the tiny details, and the joyful moments that make your family unique — all in a comfortable, easy-going environment.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me exploring the outdoors with my family or indulging in a good piece of chocolate. I’m grateful to document these fleeting moments for families across Hillsboro and the greater Portland area.

A few of my favorite things
I believe the most meaningful photos aren’t posed or perfect, they’re honest. A quiet newborn snuggle. A toddler’s belly laugh. I book newborn sessions with enough time to pause, soothe, and feed as needed. You will never feel hurried or rushed, and the comfort of you and your loved ones is the most important thing. Need someone to play peek-a-boo with the toddler while you change a newborn diaper? I'm your girl. Need a moment to breathe and soothe a fussy baby? Absolutely. These sessions are baby-led, soft, and all about real life.
Because the little things aren’t so little after all
My newborn & family photography approach
I do this because I believe your family deserves to be remembered—not just in perfect poses, but in the quiet in-between moments too. Photography gives us a way to hold onto what matters. Not the matching outfits or picture-perfect smiles (though those are lovely too), but the real, soul-deep stuff: the way your toddler runs into your arms, the proud little smile when your baby stands on their own for the first little while, and the love that radiates from your family in all its beautiful messiness.
Capturing the beauty in your ordinary moments
My mission as your photographer
The families I work with aren’t looking for stiff, posed photos. They want real. Honest. Heartfelt. They want to capture the love they feel on the ordinary days that are actually anything but. If that sounds like you, then you’re in the right place. Come as you are and I’ll take care of the rest.
